Good post Tia.Valid questions.
Here is my take-
Agree with @KhatamK reg Aahil getting lost in Sanam, IMO, he got lost after he got slapped by a Dhabhewali. His attraction towards her has been growing ever since.Last night he wasn't in his senses and his defenses were low. He just let the lover in him to come out to play
Is Ahil mellowing down towards Sanam too soon?
Yes, if you compare him to Asad. But Ahil is not Asad. He is a hard drinking playboy, who is in a better place to identify that, what he sees in Sanam and what she makes him feel are totally different from all his other toys/girl friends have managed to evoke. And he wants to hang on to it, when he is in his own vulnerable state and he tries to hide when he wears his mask. I can't wait to see him trying to woo Sanam, who acts more like Asad in the matter of heart. I liked the way she just walked off, all business,to the graveyard, when Ahil started his sob story.
Regarding Sanam getting too personal in telling him off for drinking too much, IMO after Begum Sahiba's entry, Sanam considers herself more like a family member and not a servant anymore.I think she gets her cues from Latif, who kind of switches between acting like family to servant.
Ahil -Rehan equation is different, for most part he treats him like a younger bro and brings up the "stay within limits" clause only to push him off when he gets too close for comfort.
Sanam has never stayed within her limits of a servant, that's the problem he has with her, she won't let him set the boundaries, she is her own master.That's why Ahil has to repeat the chant, "I own you, I own you, I own you", more to convince himself than to make her accept it. Sanam is his equal, how much ever he wants to deny, he knows it. And it is easier to open up to a stranger. He did that once before too, when he was in his senses, during the "Seviyan" eating scene.
Gul rehashing AsYa scenes- tho' it looks like serious bankruptcy of ideas, it's a clever way to cash on the emotional connect fans still have for AsYa and exploit the recall value of the magic that previous couple had created.
